Thanks – Giving (Squared)

It’s my birthday on Thanksgiving Day. PERFECT! I love, love, love when that happens. It’s DOUBLE GRATITUDE. Double celebration. Today I had TWO cupcakes just because – one chocolate, one pumpkin. DOUBLE HAPPINESS.

We sit down at Thanksgiving to share a meal with people we love – one of God’s greatest gifts. I believe it is in sharing food (sustenance, love) that we come together in community and understanding. That’s why I love to cook. My heart expands when I watch a friend, lover, family member, complete stranger savor, truly savor, something I’ve concocted in the kitchen. Just thinking about it floods my being with warmth.

Thanks – Giving is about those two actions – gratitude and giving. Gratitude + Giving = Abundance. Imagine my glee when all that is doubled on my birth – day. Words fail me. Every morning meditation these days is ripe with gratitude. I can’t say THANK YOU enough!

And, in turn, every opportunity lately has been two-fold. They just keep coming! Down to having to make stuffing twice cause I made the first batch too salty. We now have double the stuffing!

If you must know, my family makes a traditional Puerto Rican meat stuffing. I use ground turkey cause I don’t eat mammals. Otherwise, it’s the same – sautéed onions, shallots, garlic, green and red bell peppers, Gigi’s Adobo, tomato sauce, pimento-stuffed green olives, capers, raisins, almonds, Sherry. Seriously eco-licious. You’re welcome to come try it. I made twice what I needed… The first one salty, the second saltless. Combined… perfection.

But I digress –

Gracias.

Merci.
